Christmas: Why Did God Become Human?

God becomes human in order to die so that He cdan destroy death and enable humans to become divine and live in life everlasting. Only by becoming mortal can God defeat death — not prohibit it, or simply avoid it or banish it — but actually take it on and trample it down and triumph over it.
